SteelerWatch

The NFL on Monday awarded the Steelers two additional draft picks (round 4, #132 overall; and round 5, #170 overall) as compensation for last season’s loss of starters Antwaan Randle El, Kimo von Oelhoffen and Chris Hope.

Compensatory picks are awarded based on the net loss of compensatory free agents, with a maximum of four. While the Steelers lost three qualifying free agents last season, they acquired Ryan Clark from the Redskins, leaving a net total loss of two.
